San Diego State quarterback Ryan Katz was named the Mountain West's co-offensive player of the week for his 247-yard, five-touchdown performance in the Aztecs' 52-14 win over Hawaii last Saturday.

Katz, a senior transfer from Oregon State, blew up the Warriors' defense with rushing touchdowns of 27, 34 and nine yards, and tossed two touchdowns to receiver Brice Butler and running back Adam Muema in the win.

Katz became the first SDSU quarterback with three rushing touchdowns since Kevin O'Connell had three at Colorado State on Oct. 6, 2007.

On the season, Katz is 80-for-137 for 1,147 yards and 11 touchdowns, while throwing just four interceptions. His 149.38 passing efficiency is ranked 30th in the nation. Katz is also third on the team with 268 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

New Mexico running back Kasey Carrier shared the award with Katz. Carrier rushed for career-highs of 23 carries, 191 yards and four TDs in New Mexico's 35-14 win over Texas State.

Fresno State safety Phillip Thomas was named defensive player of the week after registering a team-high eight tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one interception in the Bulldogs' 28-7 victory over Colorado State.

Wyoming punter Tim Gleeson garnered special teams player of the week honors after averaging 45.5 yards per punt on six punts in the Cowboys' 25-38 overtime defeat to Nevada.
